1. The mobile phone is probably one of
the greatest inventions of the 21st
century. It helps us to stay in touch
with people on the go. Innovation and
technology has made numerous
updates to the present mobile
phones/smartphones and updated the
services they provided. . First, mobile
phones were used for talking to one
another, then came text
messaging, after that sending images
via mobile phones and today we can
practically do anything from browsing
the internet, sending e-
mails, audio/video
conferencing, sharing data, etc.

2. One of the most basic yet most used facilities on mobile
phones is text messaging, but everyone does not know
how to send a text message. Here are the basic steps to
send text messages.

3. Let us first look at the basic details of text messaging.
Text messaging is also called short message service
(SMS). A text message on our mobile phones has a
limitation of 160 characters, which includes spaces.
This means that if you create a text message of 160+
characters then it will reach the recipient as several
split messages one after the other.
This particular drawback has been removed in the
new smartphones using different text messaging
applications. Also one can send a message to any
mobile phone regardless of the service provider
he/she is using. One must keep a check on the
charges per SMS taken from their service provider.
Usually people take a plan if they are frequently
sending text messages on daily basis as it helps
lower the cost per SMS.

4. Every mobile phone or smartphone provides different menu views and
different options but to send a text message the procedure is more or
less the same:-
Go to the main menu of the phone and select the option “Messages” or “Text” or
“Messaging”.
Select the option “New Message” or “Create Message” or “Write Message” or
click on the icon for writing new message.
Now the following steps vary from phone to phone but more or less these steps
come in the process of sending a text message. In the “To:” field enter the phone
number of the person you wish to send the message to. Here you can select
directly from your contact list and also you can select multiple names and
numbers. You can even send attachments like business card or photo or
images, by selecting on the “Insert” option and selecting the file.
Then you go to the message body and type the text message. After typing the
message, select the “Send” option and your text message will be sent to the
recipient/s.

5. If someone has sent you a text message and you
wish to reply to it then you would not have to go
through the above steps. Just open the message
and select the “Reply” option. Then simply type
the message in the message box and click on
“Send”.
Similarly, if you would like to forward a message
to others like an email, open the message. Select
the option “Forward” and add the phone number
of the person and select “Send”.
Thus, sending text messages is very easy. Once
you get a hang of the function, it becomes even
easier and faster to perform the above steps. If
you face any problems in text messaging, you
can always refer to the manual provided along
with your mobile phone.
